Default Borla ATAK Cat-Back personal opinion.

I recently installed the Borla ATAK Cat-Back exhaust on my 2012 V6 MT and I must say, I LOVE IT. Nice and loud when you give her but ZERO drone when cruising and whisper quiet on the highway in 6th at 75MPH. Only thing to be mindful of though is those Pops we hear on the stock exhaust are now a LOT louder and chunkier with the Borlas lol.

I highly recommend the set to anyone who would be interested.

Well, if it's good enough for Caroll Shelby it's good enough for me!

I was just watching your vids today actually and was gonna message you but now I see this is you so here's my question, what didn't you like about the Magnaflows? And where did you get the glasspacks for the Roush's? That's what I have now.

it actually sounds pretty good to me, not gonna lie. But i love volume, tone, and the raspiness of the borlas. Its so amazing i cant describe it. Alot of people think its too loud, but hey im young and love loud fast cars!

The only people that usually complain about borlas are the ones that refuse to pay the price for them. That's why those people usually get flowmasters. Not hating on flows or people who buy them. Just stating what I've noticed over the last 13 year's. I knew the first time I heard borlas that once I got a car that was nice that I would get borlas. Same results with the type-s as well and I have lt's. No drone and can barely here the exhaust when I go on my long trips.

The borlas are expensive for a reason. I've heard people from local mustang clubs saying tht the difference between a borla and other brands is like comparing a lexus and an older focus. I remember seeing on AM reviews that wrxified(an active member on many mustang forums with a pretty wickedly modde v6) had gotten rid of his magnaflow because he hated the horrible drone on it and bought borlas and has not looked back. That review really helped me make up my mind

So besides the great sound how is the performance and weight difference over stock?
